LOG & DEADLIFT COMP RULES

1. The referee’s decisions are final - arguing with this will result in disqualification. 
2. All lifters will be given 60 seconds maximum on the platform per lift.
3. Weigh-in will be permitted the day before or on the morning of the event - details to be confirmed closer to the event. 
4. This is a Strongman-style event - as such; sumo is not permitted.
5. Conventional deadlift only - hitching permitted. 
6. All lifters will be given three lifts on both the log and deadlift - opening lifts must be confirmed with the scoring team by 1 hour before the event start (preferably earlier).
7. If a lifter fails their first attempt at any lift, they may have one (1) more attempt. They will be asked to vacate the platform if this is a failure.
8. Suits - straps - chalk - sleeves are all permitted.
9. Grip shirts are permitted.
10. If you plan on breaking a record, please ensure the team is notified well in advance.
11. The figure of 8 straps is NOT permitted - these are designed lifting axles and, as such, are misused and allow people to cheat by hanging straps from their wrists. This has been a consistent issue, and we will continue to have zero-tolerance - regular straps are OK. However, if you can’t lift it with traditional straps (or raw), you can’t lift it. 
12. Open categories are open to all lifters - if a lightweight competitor puts in the best lift of the day, they will win both their class AND the open class. 
13. After completing a lift (or not!), please promptly give your next nominated ride to the scoring and loading team. Failure to do so may see the head judge selecting the next lift for you (likely whatever the next person wants for ease) 
14. The deadlifts will be performed using a Texas Deadlift bar and Cerberus Calibrated plates.
15. The logs will be the Fitxpo Logs stored at Strom in Shropshire - if anyone wants to practice with them, they will be encouraged and available on Saturdays via arrangement with Rick from Strom.
